The Wisdom Fund is a fixed income vehicle that increases capital access and lending for women-owned businesses. It is a co-created effort to bring new thinking, experimentation, and sustainable solutions to drive wealth creation for women of color in the United States.
Every day 1,800 new women-owned businesses are added to the U.S. economy, yet women-owned businesses only receive a small fraction of total lending.1 The impact of the small business lending gap, which can affect many of the 12 million women-owned businesses in the U.S., is significant.2
Capital access is a significant issue for women entrepreneurs3 and is particularly pronounced for BIPOC women entrepreneurs. To illustrate, “if revenues generated by minority women-owned firms matched those currently generated by all women-owned businesses, they would add four million new jobs and $1.2 trillion in revenues to the U.S. economy.”4
The borrowers profiled below were all funded by CNote partner lenders. They are representative of the borrowers the Wisdom Fund aims to support.
